I hate grocery shopping. I hate cooking. I hate doing the dishes. Solution? Meal delivery service. I decided to give Hello Fresh a try in an attempt to eat healthier and to eat actual food rather than frozen pizza, Kraft Shapes Mac N’ Cheese, and Lean Cuisines.
While I still have to do the dishes (so many dishes, actually…) I quite like it. I subscribe to the “Classic Plan”, so I receive 3 meals per week. Each meal is supposed to feed 2-4 people, so since it’s just me each meal gives me enough food for 4 lunch and dinners. SCORE! Hello Fresh allows you to “skip” weeks of delivery however often. Because 3 meals per week is a lot for 1 person, I usually skip every other week and stretch the meals across 2 weeks. Another great part of Hello Fresh is that each meal only takes about 30-45 minutes to make, which is nice after working a long day.
Hello Fresh sends you a recipe, the exact amount of food, and a detailed instruction card in each box. The food is sent on a dry ice-like gel ice pack so you don’t need to be home when delivered. I actually have all packages sent to my closest UPS Store and the food has been completely safe for hours. The wrappings and the box itself are almost all recyclable so no need to feel guilty for all of the packaging!
TIP: Download the Hello Fresh app! All recipes are loaded with step-by-step instructions, built-in timers, and high-quality pictures.
If you have yet to try Hello Fresh and would like to give it a go, send me a message for a promo code for $40 off your first box! Obvs not sponsored because I’m just a regular gal with a small blog who would love to get $20 off her own box if you use my promo code. Ya know?
